When a law is used to create geometry, as for curves, surfaces, a wire offsetting, and sweeping, the string denoting the law and any supporting data is saved to the save file.

A law is composed of one or more law symbol character strings. The law symbols are very similar to the adaptation of mathematical notation for use in computers. The valid syntax for the character strings is given in the law symbol templates. Laws support nesting of law symbols.

Laws are most likely to appear in the save file as part of a curve or surface subtype definition in the form of a
lawintcur or a
lawsplsur. Typically, the subtype definition starts with generic geometry information. Then the law specific information is presented. The law itself can reference and/or define any number of other model geometric elements and subtypes using law data definitions. Following the law definition and all associated law data in the save file, other common subtype information can appear.
